Homestyle Filipino barbecue is lovingly prepared at FOB (meaning 'fresh off the boat'). Hospitable waitstaff conjure up beer-braised spare ribs, flounder grilled in banana leaf and sauce-drowned skewers of barbecued pork, while boba slushies add a sugar rush to the proceedings. It's casual, but FOB also makes a trim date spot – particularly if you land an outdoor table.
FOB also serves one of Brooklyn's standout brunches, with choices like seared spam with mustard, or smoked milkfish, always with savorous garlic rice and fried eggs.
